This one is a weird one. It's a right-hand-drive, U.K.-spec 1990 Land Rover Defender 110 County Estate -- and the seller wants $90K.

You can get a nice, modern Defender for less.

Then again, this is a rare bird. It's got a diesel engine, a five-speed manual transmission, and 144,000 kilometers on the clock.

The engine has been rebuilt and much of the other mechanicals have been replaced/kept up to date. So, too, have many convenience features. There is a premium audio system and a CB radio.

The list of replacements/upgrades is long and you can click here to check it out.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

90K is smoking crack, and right hand drive is no fun at all.

  I take that comment personally. You don't even know me!

$90k for a 33-year-old vehicle, and the seller posts a measly 7 photos, including zero of the underside, or closeups of any kind?

Hubris.

Dave M. Get rid of anything 4 cylinder. I know a lot can be done with them, but I have occasion daily with luxury cars and whether it's Mercedes, BMW or any other luxury or semi-luxury brand, 4 cylinders (turbo, supercharged) still sound like an economy car.
Kosmo Resume the CTS V Wagon with 6MT!!!
Ajla I'd also rather fix Jaguar. 😔
Flashindapan I’m not an engineer but 30psi seems really high for factory turbo.
Mike Beranek To have any shot at future relevance, Cadillac needs to lean into it's history and be itself. That means investing real money into differentiating them from the usual GM "parts bin" strategy.Build big cars with big, bespoke engines. Build a giant convertible with suicide doors. Build Escalades that aren't just Yukons with bling. Bring back the CT6, but make it available at a more reasonable price, to balance out the halo models.Build cars that famous people want to be seen in. That's what made Cadillac what it was.
